Imaging Recording and Analysis Instrumentation
Light microscopic images can be recorded in film(35mm or sheet film), video or digital formats. High resolution flatbed and slide scanners are available for converting analog images to digital format. Video, laser, inkjet, thermal and dye-sub printers are available to provide photographic prints of images from LM, SEM or TEM. Complete wet photographic facilities, including film and plate processing, print production on a point source enlarger, and trimming and mounting equipment are contained within the facility for the preparation of publication ready material.
